Short-term rentals in Corvallis are allowed but strictly limited by zoning; unhosted entire-home rentals are generally prohibited in residential zones.
If you want to rent out your entire home as a short-term rental, your property must be located in a commercial or mixed-use zone. In residential neighborhoods, you can only host guests while you are present, limited to renting out a maximum of two bedrooms as a 'Home Business.' All rental properties must be registered with the city and pay an annual $17 fee.
Step-by-step guide for Corvallis
Consult the City's Land Development Code (LDC) or Planning Department to ensure your property is in a zone that allows unhosted 'Lodging Services' or if you must operate as a hosted 'Home Business'.
Submit a Rental Housing Registration form to the Housing & Neighborhood Services Division. This applies to all rental units in the city.
Register with the City's Finance Department to collect and remit the 9% Lodging Tax. If you use a platform like Airbnb exclusively, you still need to register but may not need to remit manually.
Install working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and maintain a fire extinguisher on site. The property may be subject to periodic fire inspections.
